Newer LCD monitors for the desktop and laptop computer are more readable than ever, rendering scanned documents as text and art that is easy on the eyes and clear to read and comprehend.

Larger screens are becoming the norm too – it’s hard to remember just how small screen sizes were only a few years ago and how they’ve grown, from the ubiquitous 15-inch cathode-ray tube (CRT) to today’s flat-panel 21-inch wide screens – and screens are getting even wider!

With the advent of the Kindle and now the iPad, handheld e-readers with high pixel counts are opening up a completely new vector for consuming information. Soon, professionals will be able to read critical documents and annotate them entirely on a thin handheld tablet, saving their notes and changes on a database in the “cloud – a remote server – for easy storage and access from anywhere.

Digitizing and organizing your documents fits comfortably in this rapidly developing environment. A scanning and filing system allows you to save any kind of paper document as a PDF or JPEG, or to convert it into editable text in a Microsoft Word doc or Excel spreadsheet. All of these formats can be saved to a secure database on a network, or remain conveniently accessible through the cloud.

Using laptops with high resolution screens, iPads, and the whole new world of tablets that are sure to follow, you can take your documents with you or access them in the cloud, and read and interact with them anywhere you happen to be.
